The votes are in and the June of the Months have been announced! The members have spoken and the spotlights have been filled! Congratulations to those who've grabbed a coveted space and thank you to everyone who participated in the nomination and voting process. We know it was hard to choose one character for each spot given how many spectacular critters we have running around! Junes's Surprise might have been Our Local Law Enforcement but who knows what the next will be.

Following the existence of any good forum, periodic updates are to be expected! Anything from the release of a new event, to the edits made to rules or forum policy will be noted in an announcement. Be sure to keep up to date on the announcements posted - members will be responsible for them!

Not only are guides posted within, but this area is guest-friendly to encourage comments and suggestions! If you spot any errors or mistakes in content or coding be sure to let us know. Additionally, any questions can be asked here as well. Staff will get back to posts made in this section as soon as possible.

We offer three applications - freeform and traditional for permnant characters, and a special temporary template for temporary characters! Every character must have an accepted application before they are permitted to roleplay. There is a creation guide in the Help Desk for those who might need assistance, but feel free to ask the Staff if you run into problems during the creation process. The title should be Last name, First name. The topic description should be Faction | Faction Rank | Occupation.

All of the accepted biographies of characters currently in play. They are organized by their species. If for any reason the player needs to edit their application feel free to contact Staff to arrange to do so.

Reservations for claims generally last one week. After acceptance, the member is responsible for registering all of the claims applicable for their character and themselves. Failing to do so forfeits the character's precedence to the material.

A popular section in any forum, here's the spot for character plotpages. Plotpages are organized one per character and filed under their respective species. Members are encouraged to utilize this section of the forum to engage other characters and brainstorm fascinating stories! Creating a plot page for one's characters is highly recommended. A template is available in the Help Desk for optional use.

The Development forum is the perfect place for miscellaneous material gathered on a character. Diaries, journals, memory snippets, as well as a collage of graphics, music, and other inspirational tidbits. Feel free to use this section and format the threads as you will!

The communication forum is for correspondence of any sort that occurs between two (or more) characters without the intention of making a robust, proper roleplay thread. Phone calls, text messages, instant messenger chats - all of that fabulous good stuff of the modern era (perhaps even the old school letter-writing) is fair game here! Please include in the description what format the communication is taking.

Everyone wants to move uptown even if a bare fraction ever do. Uptown is that place with chic boutiques, million dollar homes, and the most gorgeous landscaping imaginable because the citizens in these parts can afford it. Uptown is home to the upper class and there's nothing about the zone that will make one forget it. Cultural pieces that exude power and lavishness are abound (including a very robust historic district). Uptown has taste and the Windblown Police sure do patrol Uptown regularly.

Home to the working man and hands down the largest sector of Windblown, Midtown is experiencing phenomnal growth. The economic boom of Windblown has graced Midtown with constant construction and a higher and higher standard of living. Midtown is a place for the middle class (both the higher end with their gated communities, and lower end with their shapely neighborhoods) with bars, malls, school districts, and the bulk of services the City has to offer.

Similar to Midtown, Downtown is expanding rapidly as well. Forty-floor skyscrapers aren't uncommon, as are the sprawling distribution of offices, banks, and the other powerhouse companies fueling Windblown's expansion. Most of the city works in the Downtown business district... or, if they don't, they spend their cash there. Though Uptown has plenty of expensive establishments, Downtown has fabulous jewelers and fashion shops as well.

No one wants to admit that this district might not be living up to the standards of the other zones. Or the fact that Windblown development is supported upon the back of the poor. Few people want to but that doesn't change the fact that Slumtown isn't where anyone with a choice wants to live. Poverty is rampant in the Slumtown, as is the crime. It's a dangerous place to go. Due to the lack of police protection in the Slums, neighborhood gangs have been a double-edged sword in the community.

Anywhere that just won't fit in the city of Windblown can be roleplayed here. This includes, but is not limited to, the surrounding area, other states, and other countries. Include the location of the thread in the thread's description.

Chatting is excellent. While we have a gorgeous chat-box for members to use, we also have this entire forum dedicated to building a stronger community, too. Staff urge you to use it! Play games, strike up discussions, contemplate the universe and all of the adorable cows in it. Additionally, there's a testing area for graphics and an absence forum within.

Our advertising policy is simple: if you're linking back, indicate so in the title of your thread. If you plan to advertise here, there must be a place to advertise there. Double posting is acceptable - we return advertisements 1:1. If you post here first, don't expect us to read (or fill out) rules or forums on your site.
